UMGN Adds Bryant

Riveter Management's Charlene Bryant has been named SVP/Business Development & Strategy for UMG/Nashville. "Charlene has spent her career in artist development and learning to merge cultures of Christian, R&B, Hip-Hop and Country music," says UMGN Chair/CEO Cindy Mabe. "As Universal Nashville is investing deeper to expand our growth in partnering in innovation with entrepreneurs, the independent label sector as well as our sister labels, Charlene is the perfect person to help merge those worlds and cultures." Prior to founding Riveter, Bryant's stops included 1400/800 Entertainment, RCA Inspiration and Capitol Christian Music Group.
